My original OEM Canon batteries lasted a LONG time (> 5-yrs, which I consider pretty darn good) both finally failed about the same time, so ... yes folks, you have to accept these things do a have a lifetime and will eventually die. I couldn't stomach the outrageous price for OEM batteries, so I ordered 3 of these "after-market" batteries. So far I have noticed no problems with these batteries, they fit my OEM charger, charge up nicely, fit into my camera (Canon Rebel Digital XT), operate essentially as OEMs and appear to hold their charge just fine. That said, I haven't done enough shooting to know for sure how they'll operate in the real world - so I will check back in here to update if there is a problem with ability hold charge (will know within the next 2 weeks). All in all, satisfied with product so far. UPDATE (7/31/13) - Checking back in as promised. I used this battery over 2-day period, several hundred shots and my camera's LCD display still displays a full charge; it should be noted these were all outdoor shots so no flash. Still, I think its safe to say the battery holds its charge well. PS - I looked over the negative reviews (1-star, 2-star) and here's what I found ... Misspelling of "Power" on battery label (Powwer): they're made in China (with Japanese cells) and most likely English is a 2nd language for the label guy. Big deal, so give the label a 1-star, but I bought a battery here and not a label. Battery not compatible with their camera: hopefully any of those issues have been addressed by now in the product description, fits my Canon Rebel XT perfectly. Charger incompatibility: surprising, as again, it fit my Canon OEM charger just fine; also fit an after-market car charger I bought. Vendor issue (SF Planet): don't know if its the same or a new vendor, but this battery's vendor is listed as SterlingTek Camera broke, so blamed it on the battery: that makes sense, because it must've been the battery, right? Using charger in China (heard pop and light went out): really, doesn't this sound more like an electrical supply/charger issue? Claimed wouldn't charge/hold charge, but didn't return because not sure if he/she had mixed up dead OEM battery with new: of course here's where the label misspelling would come in handy had the person realized. Trouble charging: seems there's a ton of reviewers who had no problem. Short lifetime: can't comment on this (yet) ... but will check back in and update my review IF that happens.

It charged normally, fit the camera like the original, and worked as expected.

I ordered this battery because the original one was forgotten in another country. I rarely use a camera, but when I take it out, the battery keeps its charge and everything is fine. Very decent quality for a copy.

This battery purchase is the 5th one I've made from SterlingTek. Every one, including this one, has been delivered on time, with the correct product, and been a terrific value. The battery works as well as the OEM model (better, actually, since it has 300mAH more power), and works perfectly in both my Canon XTi camera and Canon Optura 30 video camera (which use the same battery). I have SterlingTek batteries that I purchased for my Canon 5D, Canon XTi, Canon T2i, and Canon 5D Mk II -- all of which worked fine, never failed, and have given me years of reliable service. I recommend SterlingTek to friends regularly, and will continue to do so!

I use this battery in my Canon Rebel XT 350 Camera. My Dad and Stepmother recently gifted this fabulous camera and an excellent telephoto lens to me. It used to be their camera and has traveled all over the world. It takes excellent photos. But back to the battery. All batteries run down in capacity over time. So it was time to purchase another one to have on hand. Thus far, I've got about 3 hours of near constant use out of the battery and am impressed with its longevity. I'll come back to this review in 6 months and update it with how the battery has fared over that time. In terms of its shape and form-factor, it fits my camera beautifully.
